Just another manic Monday......

[sabrinaml]

I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday..

Anyone have anything good today?

[sabrinaml]

Cole has decided that 3am is his favorite time to practice grabbing and holding onto his toes. This has been going on since Thursday. But I won't complain too much since he usually goes right back to sleep when I put his bink back in his mouth.

I had contemplated taking today off from work to have a baby free day to myself and SLEEP. Well, I did end up taking the day, but am now accompanied by a very sick baby. I love him and feel terrible for him, but I have been holding him around the clock for 3 days straight now.

On a related note, why don't Starbucks or DD deliver??

im so sorry your little guy is sick.

Starbucks delivers but only in Seattle at one location. But I imagine it's used mostly by large companies since you would prob end up paying 10$ for a latte.

Do you have postmates or something similar in your area? They deliver just about anything!

Lo decided 5am was a good time to wake up. Be chatty and have the hiccups. after a night I was already up every two hours feeding her. Oh man.

[carolyngrace]

I'm babysitting today and trying to type up about 20 case notes whenever she, and my DB, are napping. Like right now. So obviously I'm here and drinking my coffee!!

[Deleted]

Btw Ali turned 5 months old yesterday!!!

[erbear]

Mine also will not nap during the day unless on me - or in her car seat.

I'm super tired this morning. I have a GI doctor appointment this afternoon and I hope LO naps for it. Hahahaha.

[erbear]

She was drowsy after nursing so I put her in her crib with the mobile in. Now I'm downstairs listening to her babble to herself. We'll see!

[jessila]

budders Poor V and you. Hopefully the doctor will be able to really help and get your family so rest.

Joolschweets Lol at baby cage of doom.

Today is a professional day for teachers. In my district we're allowed to work from home...and my grades were done Friday so it's a free day for me. My sister and SIL stopped by with donuts from an amazing place called Fractured Prune.

O just went down for a nap so I'm going to sort clothes to donate. If you donate a lot of clothes make sure to itemize them for taxes. We get back at least $250 per year because we do this.

H is going to settlement to sell our townhouse soon!!!!!! He's owned it for 8 years and we moved out 3 years ago. We've been losing money on it the whole time. IT'S GOING AWAY!!!

Oh, and I broke our microwave yesterday. Whoops.

[tiffbot]

Morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend.

In my province we don't recognize daylight savings and it's something I've never thought about before having kids and now that I do, I'm very happy not to have to deal with that adjustment haha!

My plans for this morning just got cancelled as I was typing this, so now I don't know what I'm doing today.

I had my first post baby non-kid girls night 'in' on Friday. We drank wine and played cranium and it was so fun!

[sugarkissed]

LO finally started rolling from her back to tummy and it's her new favourite thing to do. She's seem to have forgotten how to roll from her tummy though, despite doing it from 3 weeks old. This results in me going into her room several times a night to flip her back over.

Oh, and DD1 puked all over her bed last night. Candy overdose, perhaps?

I'm done with Monday and daylight savings time.

[tiffbot]

DD has become a major mover here too. Just a couple days ago I posted that she can roll but doesn't show much interest in it. Well she must have read my thoughts and decided to prove me wrong because she doesn't stay on her back anymore haha. And pushes herself around everywhere. H set her on her mat in the living room this morning while he was getting ready and I went in only a couple minutes later to find her way off and in between the couch and toy box. I actually kind of had to scan the room for her haha. We have laminate flooring so easy for her to just push herself backwards everywhere.

budders I hope he is better soon! He has been sick for so long!

[erbear]

Lol, nope. She talked for a bit, rolled herself in between the slats of her crib, and eventually cried. I tried to use her glowing seahorse in her pnp, too, and she's not having it. She's overtired and currently nursing, so I hope she naps.

[Bluedaisy]

Budders I'm so sorry, hopefully LO feels better soon.

Plus one for a catnapper. But I can't complain because my little one sleeps eight hours straight at night. He just normally doesn't sleep during the day. Like fifteen to twenty minutes a couple times a day. Although as I type this he's at almost an hour and a half in the playpen which NEVER happens.

[mrsdee1982]

budders - man, you just can't seem to catch a break. I am so sorry. I hope your LO feels better soon.

I am so tired. Stupid time change. I actually forgot to transfer my wallet from the diaper bag into my purse this morning. I did not realize this until I pulled up to the Starbucks drive thru window to pay for my latte. I explained to the gal that I was really sorry, but I must have left my wallet in the baby's diaper bag and I was so sorry that they had made a coffee drink I couldn't pay for. I must have looked so tired and pathetic because she told me "Momma, you look like you need this coffee today" and gave it to me anyways. I will be going back tomorrow to "pay" for my latte. Whether they ring it in or I leave them a tip.

[littlemissgrump]

I am so tired today! LO slept fine last night but did decide to party in his crib this morning at 5:30 a mere hour before we had to get up for work. He did fall back asleep and I had to wake him up to leave for work.

Today I'm watching a 4 yo who is amazing but is very 4 year old like with non-stop talking and lots of ideas of things to do! We'll go to the mall later for an art class and play park. I just want to get cozy and sleep!

Sorry your LO isn't feeling well again, budders. Netflix recs; I really liked Bloodline (love Kyle Chandler), so that means I will also say Friday Night Lights the series, always Arrested Development, also the HGTV shows Fixer Upper, Rehab Addict, Million Dollar Rooms, Property Brothers, Flip or Flop. Right now I'm rewatching Bones. I keep thinking of more shows I've enjoyed! Scandal, Damages, Revenge (not the last couple seasons!), same with Pretty Little Liars & Gossip Girl...

[hannahl201477]

After 2 nights of Mal being so stuffy he would only sleep at night in our arms he has a runny nose today. I guess he has a cold. Maybe he will be able to sleep though. I'm sure that's wishful thinking but my arms need a rest. We are going to a boutiques christmas open house tonight. Hope he feels up for it!

[erbear]

One of my best friends is having a baby in May! I'm so excited! I just wish she lived closer (she lives in Phoenix).

Any suggestions for shows to watch today? I have Netflix, Hulu and Prime.

I just blew through the Mindy Project and Broad City. Both sooo good if you want something funny!

[Bluedaisy]

Ugh somebody posts a kijiji ad selling a phone and accidently used my number. I've been getting calls and texts all day. So annoying.

[Deleted]

Today is our anniversary and we're going out, childless, tonight. BOOZE!

[carolyngrace]

How does everyone feel about doing an hour of silence tomorrow in honor of the baby in May 15 that passed away? I haven't been following his story. But my heart is still breaking for the mom. They are doing one tomorrow and maybe we could join them.

[wegrowsheep]

Woke up with the happy baby before 7am. Why so happy? Because he ate every two hours all night. Got kids fed, slogged through schoolwork with DD, T took a catnap on the bed, and DS1 ate candy.
Now I'm holding T for a nap the has lasted almost an hour. I evicted the kids from the living room and I have no idea what they're doing. Probably eating candy. Don't care though, because I got a little nap.

The rain fell like crazy since Thursday, and dad figured out that we got about 100,000+ gallons per acre in 4 days. Awesome.

Absolutely yes. I can't imagine the heartbreak she must be feeling right now.

I'm at a complete loss for words!!! what heartbreaking news to read, I wish I knew more of their story.   I agree with the hour of silence tomorrow.

Omg jessila that sounds amazing that you can work at home in your district! Where are you and are there any positions available?
